    Using in car GPS

    I wish the company i worked for would ban them. my partner relys on his way too much, i usually refer to it as his "pacifier". a full 16 shifts with a DTO to learn the city and you still have to have a GPS in the windshield to find your way around. hell, im sure he spends about 10% of his...

    Explodey the Doe

    how many miles would you have to drive to "drive off" the points you get on the road safety computer, if you mashed the brakes on something like that. 25 points per second of high tone here. 1 point removed per 7 miles driven without tones. i would have done the same thing this LEO did.

    EMS/Medical Superstitions.

    we rely on the trauma god. although i think i got a broke one, it only brings us interfacility transfers or alpha sick persons, or "flu like symptoms"

    Electronic PCR Printing

    use toughbooks with LIFENET ems software. print with laserjets at the hospitals. also have a fax option, you have to be connected to the truck gateway, which sends the chart to the station fax, then to the hospital (if they dont have a printer)

    what is your trigger for runs

    usually calls/runs happening coincides with me reclining the seat in the ambulance. i can sleep in the thing all day long, as long as i dont recline my seat. the second you touch that lever, off you go. and its usually BS.
